Opening the 1892 Courthouse Cornerstone Time Capsule

Step back in time and celebrate Franklin County’s history! The 1892 courthouse time capsule will be opened on Thursday, December 4, revealing items sealed away for more than 130 years. Then we’ll place a brand-new capsule to be opened in 2125, and we'd love to hear your ideas on what to include! What items, messages, or memories best capture life in Franklin County in 2025? Please submit your ideas at https://bit.ly/438sJZV by Thursday, November 20, 2025.

Join us for this once-in-a-lifetime celebration filled with history, community, and holiday cheer!
